product Details

Jura 1991 Whisky Sponge 29 Year Old Edition No.11

This Jura was distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2020, this is a collaboration between independent bottler, Copper Monument, and the Whisky Sponge blog. This is the partnership's eleventh bottling, matured in a refill barrel which yielded 152 bottles.

The Isle of Jura is one of the most isolated in the Hebridean archipelago, and by all logical accounts an unusual place to build a distillery. However, the historic site was re-opened in the 1960s, in part to provide jobs to what was a declining population at the time. The rebuilding of the distillery was backed by blenders Charles Mackinlay & Co, so like Bruichladdich, despite the island being covered in peat, it produced an un-peated spirit to meet the needs of their blends. This continued into the 1990s when Whyte & Mackay became its owners, although they did eventually introduce some peated malt to their distilling, launching the Jura Superstition in 2003.
